    To days visit to my local bird reserve,it was dry but very windy,but the waterside picnic was just amazing.:)
    My bird ID is still not very good,but would love to find out what No5 is as its song was incredible.Thank you:)

      Nice one Woo,

      Yes, that is a nightingale. We have one in the hedgerow behind the house, goes off about 3/4 am.

        I love the way the cormorants sit on those buoys, Woo. They obviously think they were placed in the river solely to help them fish! Nice piccies.
